Aunty Rose remained, apparently,
as austere as ever, while Joseph
Stagg was quite as much immersed hi
business as formerly. Vet there were
times, when she and the child were
alone, that Mrs. Kennedy unbent, iu a
greater or less degree. And on the
part of Joseph Stagg. he found himself
thinking of sunny-haired, blue-eyed
“Hannah’s Car’lyn” with increasing
frequency.
“Didn’t you ever have any little
girls. Aunty Rose?” Carolyn May ask
ed the housekeeper on one of these in
timate occasions. “Or little boys? I
mean of your very own.”
“Yes,” said Aunty Rose in a matter-
of-fact tone. “Three .Bill, only to
have them in my arms for a very little
while. Each died soon after coining
to me. There was something quite
wrong with them all, so the doctors
said."
“Oh, my dear! All three of theffi?"
sighed Carolyn May.
“Two girls and a hoy. Only one
lived to he three months old. .They
are all buried behind the church yon

The next morning early Carolyn
May, with Prince, went over into the
churchyard and found the three little
stones in u row. She knew they must
he the right ones, for there was a big
ger stone, with the inscription, “Frank
Kennedy, beloved spouse of Rose Ken
nedy.” upon it.
The names on the three little stones
were Kmeline, Frank, Jr., and Clarissa.
Weeds and tali grass hail -begun to
sprout about the little, lozenge-shaped
stones and about the taller one.
While she was thus engaged, a tall
man In black—looking rather “weedy”
himself, If the truth were told—came
across the graveyard aid stood beside
her." He wore a broad band of crepe
around his hat and on his arm. and
was very grave and serious-looking.
“Who are you, little girl?” he asked,
his voice being quite agreeable and
his tone kindly.
“I’m Car’lyn May. if you please,"
she replied, looking up at him frankly.
“Car’lyn May Stagg?” he asked.
“You’re Mr. Stagg’s little girl? I’ve
heard of you.”
“Car’lyn May Cameron." sne correct
ed seriously. “I’m only., staying with
tti**»* my-«innKHam :
hud to take me, of course, when my
papa and mamma were lost at sea.”
“Indeed?” returned the gentleman.
“Do you know who 1 am?"
“I—1 think," said Carolyn May,
doubtfully, “that you must he the un
dertaker.” y
For a moment the gentleman looked
startled. Then he Hushed a little, but
his eyes twinkled.
“The - undertaker?” he murmured.
“Do I look like that?”
“Excuse me, sir,” said,Curolyn May.
“I don’t really know you, you know.
Maybe you’re not the undertaker.”
“No, I am not. Though our under
taker, Mr. Snivvins- is a very good
man.”
“Yes, sir,” said the little girl, po
litely.
“I am the pastor here—your pastor,
I hope,” he said, putting a kind hand
upon her head. .
“Oh. 1 know you now !” said Caro
lyn May brightly. “You’re the man

Rev. Afton Driggs looked rather odd
again. The shocking frankness of the
child came pretty near to fiooring
him.
,-'“1—ahem! Your uncle compliments

that he is ready to do his share, do
you ?”
“His share?” repeated the puzzled
little girl.
“Toward strangling the Evil One,;’
pursued the minister, a w ry smile curl
ing the corners of his lips. *
“Hus he got a share in- it, too?”
asked Carolyn May.
“I think we all should have,” said
the minister, looking down at her with
returning kindliness in his glance.
“Even little girls like you.”
Carolyn May looked at film quite se
riously.

the dog’s continued agitation. A

beside the road eating a lunch out of a

and said : <•

“Oh. no! He’s ns’ally very polite,'*

“He wouldn’t, hey?” said the man
hoarsely, licking hu* fingers of the last

It was on the following morning that
school opened. The Corners district >
school was a red building, with a
squatty bell tower and two front ,
doors, standing not far up the road be
yond the church.
Miss Minnie Lester taught, the

looked very sharply
“O-o-oh!” breathed Carolyn May,

The n>*n at the window suddenly

with a rough threat, darted forward

These newspaper quotations
represent live cattle prices in
Chicago on December 30th, 1918.
The list shows price ranges
on nine general classified groups
with a spread of $13.85 per cwt :
—the lowest at $6.50 and the
highest at $20.35.
Why this variation in price?
. Because the meat from differ
ent animals varies greatly in
^quality and-weiglYtT*"^
Although the quotations
shown are in nine divisions,
Swift & Company grades cattle
into 34 general classes, and each
class into a variety of weights
and qualities.
As a result of these differences in
catfie prices, (due to differences in
weights and meat qualities), there is a
range of 15 cents in Swift ft Com
pany's selling prices of beef car
casses.
These facts explain:
1— Why retail prices vary In
different stores.
2— Why it would be difficult to
regulate prices of cattle or
beef.
v v
- \
3—Why it requires experts to
nidge cattle and to sell meat,
. so as to yield the profit of
cnly a fraction of a cent a
pound—a profit too small to
affect prices.
